chris-

You can try Gunsite allotment My name is on the list and there is an average wait of 5 years. So its best to put yourself down as soon as you can http://gunsiteallotments.org/

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hardcastle-Large-Metal-Lockable-Parcel/dp/B0148N0Y4G/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1489509410&sr=8-7&keywords=parcel+box You can get parcel boxes made for this from amazon. Handy to have when you are out for deliveries. Dont put spikes out trying to hurt animals it wont solve anything.

http://www.do-it.org.uk is a good site for looking up volunteering opportunities

if its hanging over your fence then just cut it. cant do anything to the height though. hope you get it sorted

its well worth heading down there to help out even if its just for a short while. Its really good what they have done to the garden on such a tight budget
